answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2017 answer text <p>The Welsh economy approaches its departure from the EU in a strong position. Such strength is demonstrated in Wales’s ability to attract globally recognised brands such as Aston Martin and Qatar Airways. As we leave the EU we are seeking to take advantage of all opportunities available to us and build on this demand for Welsh goods and services. We will work with industry in Wales to help forge a new culture of exporting and ensure we are working to equip them with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed in the global marketplace.</p><p> </p><p>For instance, leaving the EU presents a major opportunity for Welsh and wider UK agriculture and we are working towards achieving the best possible deal for the agricultural industry across the UK. We want to secure a deep and comprehensive Free Trade Agreement as an alternative to membership of the Single Market, which preserves our access to EU markets for red meat, including Welsh lamb, and all agricultural products.</p> answering member constituency Vale of Glamorgan answering member printed Alun Cairns question first answered 30/11/2017 11:02:35 answering member 4086 label Biography information for Alun Cairns
